Japanese Menko card, probably Sadaharu Oh. He played for the Giants, right. Now you just have to nail down a year.

I have Gary Engels guide but I won’t be home till later today. If nobody nails it down by then I’ll look it up

Found this on the interwebs. May not be right - but its a starting point:

1958 Doyusha Japanese Baseball Menko Tatsuro Hiraooka (Red Background) HOF

Looks like he played for the Yomiuri Giants (1954–1966); Central League Rookie of the Year, 1954.

When I get that sort of card and I can't identify it, I have been known to take it to a Japanese restaurant.

I ended up calling it this...I hope that is right....

Sounds good. If PSA agrees and labels it, then you find out it's wrong, the submitter can send it back for free as a mechanical error.

I can't make out the kanji, but I think it probably is Hirooka. He wore #2 and played for the Giants in this period.

I don't know how to do links on my phone, but I wrote a short biography of Hirooka here:
